The republican nominee for superin
tendent of public instruction, was born
in New Jersey in 1864. He is of Scotch
parentage, his parents having, come to
this country from Scotland about 1850.
Mr. Fowler is possessed of splendid ed
ucational attainments. He attended
the public grammar schools of New
York city until 1870 when he graduated
with the highest class honors, entering
the college of the city of New York the
sixth in rank out of nearly 1,200 appli
cants. In 1883 he removed to Nebraska
to his brother's farm near North Bend.
He taught school and later on attended
the Monmouth College, Illinois. He
was elected principal of the schools at
Scribner, Nebraska, in 18S6, where he
taught until 1887, when the schools were
closed by reason. of an epidemic of diph
theria. In 1888 he went to Scotland
and England, traveling and taking
special work in the University of Edin
burgh. He returned to Scribner in
1889 and was again installed as princi
pal of the schools, remaining there for
three years. In 1893 he was chosen
superintendent of the Blair city schools,
being re-elected to the same position
with an increase in salary in 1895 for
three years, and again in 1898 for three
years. As an educator he has achieved
that success which has elevated him to
prominent distinction in educational
circles. He is one of the most practical
and thorough school men in Nebraska
and the state would, indeed, be fortu
nate in securing his services in the ca
pacity of superintendent.
A whole lot of fusion papers are quo
ting with undisguised glee a paper called
the Des Moines Globe. That sheet was
never heard of before. The calamity or
gans are, therefore, not only entitled to
the satisfaction they extract from its ut
terances but likewise to the credit of ma
king a discovery. The Globe is held up
as an administration organ and is quoted
as saying it favors an empire and the ab
olition of the constitution and every fool
thing the "antis" want it to say. It is a
crazy sheet and its editor is playing for
notoriety, as Col. AI. Fairbrother used to
do when he ran a democratic paper at
Durham, N. C, and roasted the union sol
diers every day, thinking he was currying
favor with the confederates around him.
One swallow doesn't make a summer.
The Des Moines Globe cannot properly
be regarded as directing the policy of an
administration that never knew of the
paper's existence. It cannot commit the
Republican party to a given line any
more than Bresci and his anarchist con
Bpiritors in New York and Paterson, who
have hinted at President McKinley's as
sassination, can be reasonably regarded
as standing as a proper exponent of Bry
anism. They maintain about the same
relation to their respective parties. Fre

ZZEA. P. 8A.YA0K,
The nominee for lieutenant governor,
comes direct from the ranks of the
masses. He has a splendid war record,
having distinguished himself for bravery
as independent scout for Grant and
Sherman. He is an old citizen of Ne
braska, having been the first mayor of
South Omaha, and having represented
Custer and Sherman counties in the
legislature. Mr. Savage is possessed of
rare judgment, and is as familiar with
Nebraska interests and with what is es
sential to the well-being of the people
as any one can possibly be. His life as
a citizen of this state is exemplary, and
he goes before the people with clean
hands and with a right to their confi
dence and support. He is a life long
republican, having cast his first vote for
Abraham Lincoln.
Unless there is a free ballot and a
fair count and an acquiescence in the
results of elections, a republic cannot
live. In South Carolina there is not a
free ballot. In Louisiana there is not a
fair count and in Kentucky there is not
acquiescence in the result of the elec
tions. Yet the party whose strength in
congress depends on such methods is
now posing as the friend of freedom and
the savior of free institutions. Beatrice

Wind and rain Saturday night and
Sunday morning did terrible damage to
our seaport city in Texas. It is already
placed as one of the greatest calamities
of modern times, and only a beginning
has been made in the gathering of par
ticulars. The storm extended in fury a hundred
miles inland. The losses of life are at
least thousands, and of property mil
lions of dollars. Some picture can be
formed when it is known that in the
business section of the city the water
was from three to ten feet deep in stores,
and stocks of all kinds, including food
stuffs, are total losses.
At Houston, the wind reached a ve
locity of sixty-five miles an hour, blow
ing constantly for fifteen hours.
At Galveston the wind is said to have
been a portion of the time seventy-fire
miles an hour. The storm of 1875 was
nothing in comparison to this.
The dailies of this Tuesday morning
are crowded with such particulars as
can be learned.
Answers its awn Argimaats.
The Atlanta, Ga., Journal is doing its
best to elect Mr. Bryan. Its political ed
itorials are bitterly partisan. It can see
nothing good about the administration
of President McKinley, and it consists
ently denounces every policy of the re
publican party. It declares that a con
tinuation of the present administration
will bring ruin to the country, and warns
its readers in double-leaded extravagan
zas to vote for Bryan if they wish to
avoid the poorhouse.
On its own editorial page and in a col
umn immediately adjoining one of its t re
mendous philippics against republican
ism the Journal unconsciously furnishes
an absolutely complete and overpowering
answer to its own arguments, if they may
be dignified by that name. Here is an
extract from a triple-leaded editorial
leader in the Journal, set two columns
wide because of its importance:
The people of Atlanta have a right to
be happy, and they are happy. They
are enjoying prosperity in large and in
creasing measure. The mid-summer sea
son is with most cities a time of business
quiet, not absolute dullness, and yet we
Bee Atlanta now charged with life and ac
tivity. On every hand in this city signs
and promises of new development are to
be seen. Both capital and labor are now
employed here to a larger extent than
ever before. .Both are employed profits
bly and in the production of grand re
sults.
How it is possible for a sane and rea
sonable man to advise people to repudiate
the policies which have produced the re
suits described and to indorse policies
which are exactly the opposite it is diffi
cult to see. If Atlanta is now enjoying
an unusual and gratifying prosperity, it
would seem the part of wisdom to retain
in power the administration which has
made such prosperity possible. If both
capital and labor are employed in Atlan
ta to a larger extent than ever before,
and if "both are employed profitably,'
both laborer and capitalist ought to be
satisfied with present conditions, and
would be worse than foolish were they to
attempt to change them.
Such prosperity as the Chicago of the
South is now enjoying does not come by
chance. It was predicted by Mr. Bryan
four years ago that republican success
would stagnate industry and practically
ruin the country. Nowhere has the utter
fallacy of his predictions been more
strongly shown than in the thriving ci
ties of the new South. If the prosperous
citizens of Atlanta are not blinded by
partizan feeling they will see the absur
dity of the Journal's position and resent
its appeals, under the circumstances, as
an insult to their own intelligence. Chi
cago Tribune.
Frank M. Dorset, the ex-cashier of
the First National bank of Ponca, Neb.,
will have to serve the sentence of six
years in the penitentiary which he re
ceived at the hands of the federal judge
March 21, 1899, convicted January 19,
the same year, of making false returns
to the comptroller of the currency. The
supreme court has denied his appeal.
Mr. Dorsey has been in business recently
at Colorado Springs. The sentence will
bo served at Sioux Falls, S. D.
A dispatch from Paris tells of the
vineyard crops in Bordeax being de
stroyed by a terrific shower of hail, and
the growers of Saint Miloon, being
warned by telegraph of the storm trav
eling toward them, appealed to the ar
tillery authorities. Five huge guns
were got ready and when the towering
black cloud came sufficiently near, it
was cannonaded into shreds, which drift
ed away harmlessly.
The dailies of Monday contained
President McKinley's letter of accept
ance of the nomination of the republi
can party for re-election. The fall text
makes about ten columns of printed
matter. In every way it is a splendid
paper, worthy of the president and de
serving the carefal atady of every voter
before casting his vote against the ad
ministration. The Philadelphia Press, in a review of
the Vermont election, concludes from
the figures that the republican party is
stronger with the voters of the east than
it has been in any presidential election
in forty years, the election of foar years
ago, when conditions were abnormal,
alone excepted. The republican plural
ity in Vermont is over 31,000.
Sweden is the fourth foreign govern
ment to apply to the United States for a

quoted at 95 and 96. Now they sell at

IMPLAHTATIOsT OF TEETH.
This Modem Methen in Dentistry is a
Success.
A few words in explanation of this
method will be of interest to our read
ers. The method is used for thoso who
want teeth replaced, but who do not
want a plate or bridge work. The ope
ration in itself is simple enough, but it
requires the greatest professional skill
to accomplish it successfully. Say the
patient wants a front tooth replaced. A
tooth is selected, not an artificial tooth,
but one that some one has been obliged
to give up, that will match those of the
person into whose jaw it is to be im
planted. This tooth is cleaned, the dead
nerve and decayed spots removed, and
fillings made with gold. A hole is
drilled in the jaw bone of the patient
who is to receive it, the tooth inserted
and then wired solidly to place so that
it can not be moved easily until it has
grown in. After the tooth becomes solid
the wire is removed, and an expert
would be deceived as to which is the
implanted tooth. The editor is person
ally acquainted with one of Dr. Condon's
patients for whom he implanted a tooth
about six months ago. The tooth has a
prominent position among the front
teeth of the patient and one who did
not know it could not distinguish it
from the natural tooth. It is now as
firmly imbedded in the jaw as its fel
lows. Implanting is a very interesting
and delicate operation, and it is but due
to Dr. Condon to state that he is one of
a very few Nebraska dentists who prac
tice it with success. Humphrey Dem

On the 15th there was the most re
markable display of electricity which I
have witnessed for several years. It
struck three times in the vicinity of the
station, possibly due to the proximity of
the telephone wires. For the benefit of
those who think one inch of water so
very insignificant I nave made a brief
computation of the amount so that here
after wash tubs and buckets need not
enter into the calculation. One acre of
groun J covered with one inoh of water
is equal to 27,154 gallons or about 431
hogsheads, so that the amount fallen
this month is equivalent to .3120 hogs
heads per acre.
The posters entitled "Uncle Sam's

the most striking illustrations of the

Indications That It Will Give
Its Vote to McKinley.
PaaUc SeatbacBt StaadUy Caaastaf.
AbBM at KxeeatWe Authority.
Omaha. Sept 10.-At a pace that
evinces deliberation and sober thought
Nebraska is making its way toward
the Republican column.
It is uo idle assertion to say that at
this very time Nebraska is a doubtful
state, with sentiment steadily chang
ing in favor of the Republicans, in that
degree as to justify the assertion that
it will give its electoral vote to McKin
ley. The effort of the fusion campaign
managers to stem the tide by trying
to meet the logic of events with bug
aboos and vagaries Is falling far short
of accomplishing its purpose.
In the first place, the people of Ne
braska are too Intelligent to be duped
In any such way. They know that the
cry of "imperialism" and "militarism"
is only a scheme to divert attention
from the real issues. They know that
it is intended for no other purpose than
to keep them from thinking of the ter
rible distress of four years ago, and
from comparing the philosophy and
prophecy of the "boy orator" in 1890,
as to what terrible things would hap
pen if McKinley was elected, with
what really has happened. Knowing
this, the people are turning their backs
upon bugaboos and are giving prob
lems associated with their domestic af
fairs careful consideration.
The people are asking themselves
what guarantee have they, if Bryan is
elected, that the terrible industrial
nnd commercial distress of four years
ago will not return?
They are asking themselves why
they should desert a wise leader and
sound policy a policy that has brought
good prices for all farm products, that
has closed the free soup house and
opened the factories to ten million la
boring people for an unwise leader
and an unsound policy that, every time
it has been tested and applied, has
precipitated a financial and industrial
crisis, has stilled the band of labor
and extinguished the fires In nearly
every factory.
They are asking themselves why
they should reject that which has been
proven to be for their best interest
for that which history proves to be
weighted down- with injury and dan
ger. There was a time when many of the
people of Nebraska permitted others
to think for them. They were too busy
with their own personal affairs, or too
confiding, to devote attention to polit
ical problems. For that reason many
honestly believed In the vagaries of
Bryan In 1896. They accepted what
he said as gospel truth without stop
ping to consider for a moment
It Is different today. They have
learned to the contrary in the school of
experience. They have been taught to
think for themselves, and, in doing
this, they have discovered to what ex
tent their confidence has been Imposed
upon. They have discovered that not
one of Bryan's predictions of 189G has
come true. That he was wrong in
each and every Instance. He told
them McKinley's election would visit
upon the country Inconceivable disas
ter. He told them that just so sure aa
McKinley was elected this country
would be visited by such suffering and
distress as It had never before known.
Results have demonstrated that this,
to ssy the least was a vicious and
shameful Imposition on public credul
ity. NOTHING TO GAIN.
The people of Nebraska know by
this tune that they have nothing to
gala by voting for the Bryan electoral
ticket They know full well that es
tablished policies of government are In
such close sympathy with Industrial
conditions that they cannot be dis
turbed without causing unrest and
they know further, that to substitute
policies that are a tax on enterprise
and energy for policies that are stimu
lative means to do that which sober
reason holds to be Inimical to the pub
lic weaL
It Is vastly more Important to the
voters of Nebraska that there shall be
good markets and good prices for farm
products, that tabor shall be employed,
that the money of the nation shall be
free from spurious contamination and
shall be the very best that money may
be had at a low rate of Interest as a
stimulant of Industry and as a relief
to the debtor, than that the Philip

ON A JUNKET.
Attorney General Smyth Is off on an
other "trust-smashing" expedition.
Why he had to put the state of Ne
braska to the expense of a junket to
New York with no possible objective
point ether than to achieve partisan
notoriety, la a question difficult of so
lution. Thus far he has accomplished
nothing, nor la he likely to. but on the
ether hand has added a few more fig
res to the enormous amount ex
pended by'hla department In one way
and another the last two years. No
other attorney general ever made more
grand stand plays for political effect
and no other was ever less successful.
No attorney general ever gave the peo
ple such small returns on the money
expended. From first to last it has
been a play to the galleries, with the
result that much money has been ex
pended and very little if anything ac
complished. If Attorney General
Smyth really Intended to drive trusts
into exile he would hardly Indulge in
the profitless practice of chasing phan
toms about the country when he has
any amount of material to work on
right within the limits of his home
community. It may be enjoyable sport
for him, bnt It Is rather expensive sport
to the tax payers, who will have to
go down Into their pockets and pay the
bills.
ATTESTED PROSPERITY.
Reports from the various towns and
cities throughoat Nebraska, bearing
on the financial condition of the peo
ple, go to indicate that there has been
a substantial increase in the earnings
and savings of the people the last four
years. Of the many reports received
not one shows a decrease hi the
amount of money deposited. All show
a substantial Increase. Four years ago
money was a scarce article -and the
borrower, .even on the best collateral,
found It difficult to negotiate, a loan.
Today money is abundant, and. what
Is more significant much of the money
being loaned out Is, not the money of
eastern capitalists as formerly, but
money deposited by and belonging to
the people of Nebraska. More than
$90,000,000 is money belonging to peo
ple of Nebraska. Nearly 50 per cent
of the mortgages held against Nebras
ka collateral Is held by Nebraska peo
ple. In the last four years the people
of Nebraska have Increased their
bank deposits by more than $30,000,000.
while the amount that has gone into
new homes, new . farms, new enter
prises and new Industries, is fully
twice as large. The prosperity of the
business man, of the farmer and of the
laborer, la abundantly attested by
these figures.
INVADED THE ASYLUM.
Since it has been discovered that
the editor of the Des Moines Globe, a
paper from which the fusion organs
have been gathering campaign mate
rial as a result of its Incendiary utter
ances on Imperialism, was formerly an
Inmate of an asylum for the Insane,
the fusion editors have with a display
of reluctance deserted him, and they
now find themselves subjected to the
humiliation of having quoted as au
thority the irrational. Irrelevant and
Insane opinions of an laaane mind.
The Omaha World-Herald, which
has devoted column after column of
space to the reproduction of the edi
torials of this poor unfortunate, after
having learned that he was at one
time an Inmate of an asylum for the
Insane, and after knowing that his
mental faculties have not as yet re
covered their equilibrium, still persists
In palming off his spurious opinions
upon Its readers. Other fusion papers
have discovered their mistake and quit
it The World-Herald atone still keeps
at It presumably because It bad given
np more space to the reproduction of
bis articles and was therefore all the
more sadly taken in. Its readers, how
ever, will hardly fall to hold It to ac
count, even though partisan, for per
sisting In filling its columns with the
distorted conceptions of a disordered
brain. It Is no doubt the concensus of
opinion that the fusion editors are
abundantly able to distort facts, even
to that extent as to reflect insanity,
without going Into partnership with a
person admittedly insane.
It Is safe to assume, though having
discovered that the author of these ar
ticles which they have been palming
off on their readers Is Irresponsible by
reason of a disordered mentality, not
one of the fusion editors will have the
manhood to apologise te the public or
to acknowledge the mistake.
In attempting by this rose to fore
shadow the policy of the Republican
party the Fusion editors are less con
siderate than humanity generally, for
it is a well established principle of
ethical jurisprudence that no one of
unsound mind shall be held accounta
ble for his words or deeds. In this In
stance, however, not atone do they af
fect to hold the lunatic accountable,
but they persist in holding the Repub
lican party accountable atony with
bun. It Is a flagrant Imposition upon
the public, nothing more.
A VULNERABLE PRACTICE.
The custom or practice which per
mits officials to sell public property
and not make a proper accounting of
the funds to the treasurer aad auditor
Is a miserable one at best Surround
ed by every safeguard possible it nev
ertheless affords an opportunity for
the dishonest and designing official to
rob the taxpayers.
Ia the reports that have been pub
lished from tune to tune, concerning
the management of the state Institu
tions the last two years, evidence of
this character stands out prominently.
In more than one Instance It has been
discovered that property has been sold
and the money misappropriated. Some
of Governor Poynter's appointees have
not been slow to make use of this op
portunity to replenish their exchequer.
Jast to what extent this practice has
been carried is not as yet folly known,
though there Is evidence that much
money has been diverted from the
proper channel in this way.
This castom or practice has been hi
Tegae for some time, yet It isa
expensive one to the taxpayers.
